With respect to responsibilities, two types of evaluation can be distinguished within the EC’s external co-operation programmes:

  1. Evaluation of individual projects: Responsibility for the evaluation of individual projects may rest either with the EuropeAid co-operation Office or with delegations. The Evaluation Unit in Brussels is responsible for maintaining a database of all completed evaluation reports. Evaluation studies are usually financed under project/programme funds.

  2. Evaluation of the results of country/regional and sector policies and programmes, of programming performance and of the policy mix: This type of evaluation is managed by the Evaluation Unit (AIDCO H/6) under the direct authority of the Board. The unit feeds the results back into the policy-making and programming process.
